if there's anything i am known for it is my laser focus
ANYWAY, for those who haven't heard, Mastodon recently changed how private posts work. I wrote up a quick overview of the changes, which you can read HERE: >>>> https://marrus-sh.github.io/mastodon-info/everything-you-need-to-know-about-privacy-v1.3-020150428.html
very very good progress last night, and fortunately i remembered it when i woke up. weekend goal will likely be extracting explicit numeric bounds from this idea.

anyway today i'm reading "universal behavior in nonlinear systems" http://permalink.lanl.gov/object/tr?what=info:lanl-repo/lareport/LA-UR-80-5007
the thunderstorms in the forecast tomorrow better be for real
fractal dimension is basically computed the same way as runtime bounds for recursive algorithms Afficher plus
I now have all the billiard paths I could ask for, now I just need to improve the path verification to handle longer paths (2-3x current limit) in a feasible time bound \o/
today in triangles: the fancy pruning advanced pathfinding thingamajig that is guaranteed to find all paths up to a certain length isn't nearly as effective in practice as just trying a bunch of random directions and seeing if any of them work.
mathematicians write like they're doing an autopsy report

holy shit
that game
gender essentialism Afficher plus
followup: i do not in fact really understand 1/x
OMFG witches town now has a 666 character limit, I love it here
math stuff is always slow going for me bc i get sidetracked by increasingly basic rabbit holes. right now i'm like "do i REALLY understand 1/x though?"
